Bodø/Glimt head coach Kjetil Knutsen, ahead of tomorrow's game, feels opponents Bayern Munich are the strongest team in Europe.

“In my opinion, we'll face the best team in the world tomorrow,” Knudsen said in his press conference on Wedesday afternoon.

"That's perfect because we'll know where we really stand. We watched back their games against PSG [last season's semi-final tie].

"That didn't give me any more confidence. But at the same time I was incredibly inspired, because they have top-class players.

“Players who also invest in the team and put in hard work. It's a great test for us,” Knudsen said as Jens Petter Hauge shared his thoughts.

“It will be incredibly tough. There are many teams that have come and had a very tough time, and we will probably have that tomorrow. 

"But like in all football matches, you always have a chance. Hopefully we can have the ball more than Bayern want us to.

“We have shown for several years that we are an incredibly good team and want to prove that tomorrow,” the former Frankfurt winger added.
